Summary

This study examines the feasibility and acceptability of a brief medication collaboration intervention among older adults (age 60+) with early-stage dementia or mild cognitive impairment who take multiple medications and their family caregivers. The main aims are to: 1) determine the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention for older adults with early-stage dementia and their family caregivers, and 2) explore the effects of intervention on medication collaboration, medication adherence, and beliefs about dementia and autonomy.

In this study, participants will: 1) complete a 15-30-minute baseline interview (by Zoom or phone), 2) participate together in a 45-60-minute virtual intervention led by an interventionist that includes:

Assessment of medication responsibilities and beliefs. Education about dementia and medication management. Cognitive restructuring to address beliefs about independence and caregiver assistance.

Collaborative planning for medication responsibilities and routines; and lastly 3) complete a 15-20-minute one-month follow-up interview (by Zoom or phone) to assess the intervention's acceptability and changes in medication management outcomes.

Medication Collaboration Intervention

A brief virtual behavioral intervention for older adults with early-stage dementia and their family caregivers designed to support collaborative medication management. The intervention includes: (1) assessment of beliefs about dementia, autonomy, and current medication responsibilities; (2) education on dementia progression and medication management; (3) reframing maladaptive beliefs regarding independence and caregiver assistance; and (4) collaborative development of implementation intentions and medication responsibility plans to facilitate medication adherence and the transition of medication management responsibilities. The intervention is delivered remotely via Zoom or telephone in a single 45-60-minute session by trained study interventionists.
